The primary problem is the insane cost pharma companies are allowed to charge for these drugs. Imagine the benefits to society if they could be rolled out cheaply and widely.

I mean, they are there because something went wrong before, leading to the need for them. By having them as a cost, the incentives to avoid them are put in place, so suddenly healthier foods and habits become more profitable. The problem is that medicine should not be an industry, it should be a cost centre, and the more unhealthy something is the heavier it should be taxed in order to pay for that cost.
